The length of a rectangle is 1 cm less than three times the width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 46 cm find the length and width of the rectangle

Length = 17, Width = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be L and width be W.

L = 3W - 1 , and,

2(L + W) = 46 => L+W = 23  => L = 23 - W, putting this into L = 3W - 1

23 - W = 3W - 1

24 = 4W

W = 6

therefore, L = 23 - W = 17

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
